80
- | [adj] + くない + です | あまくないです | It is not sweet |
81
-
82
- ### Expressing Likes and Dislikes
83
-
84
- | Expression | Meaning |
85
- |------------|---------|
86
- | 〜が すきです | I like ~ |
87
- | 〜が だいすきです | I love ~ |
88
- | 〜が きらいです | I dislike ~ |
89
- | 〜が にがてです | I am not good with ~ / I find ~ difficult |

31
-
32
- ## Introduction
33
-
34
- An izakaya (いざかや) is a type of informal Japanese bar-restaurant where people gather after work to eat, drink, and socialize. They serve small dishes (similar to tapas) alongside beer, sake, and other drinks. Knowing izakaya vocabulary is essential for social life in Japan.
